Effect of Supplementing Heat Stressed Japanese Quail Hens with Withaniasomnifera root Ethanolic Extract and Crude Powder on Serum Lipids and Proteins
Abstract: This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of treating Japanese quail hens subjected to heat stress with the root of Withania somnifera as ethanolic extract or crude powder on serum lipid profile and protein fraction. A total of three hundred, 6 weeks old Japanese quail hens was distributed randomly to five treatments T1= control group (unsupplemtented), T2=administrated orally with 50mg ethanolic extract/ kg body weight, T3= administrated orally with 100mg ethanolic extract/ kg body weight, T4= dietary fed with 1g crude powder/kg diet and T5= dietary fed with 2g crude powder/kg diet. Results showed that treating hens with the root as 100mg ethanolic extract or with 2g as crude powder resulted in significant (p
